5 months post op. Dr. Costa performed an in office lip lift. This procedure consists of removing and tightening the skin right before the base of the nose. This allows Dr. Costa to be able to pull up the skin and elevate the upper lip. This not only gives more volume to the lip, it also helps to make the area look more youthful by creating more balance and exposing more upper lip.

Call our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Costa.

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

Talk to your doctor about BOTOX® Cosmetic and whether it’s right for you. There are risks with this product—the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Patients with these conditions before injection are at the highest risk. Swallowing problems may last for several months. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection-site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don’t receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if there’s a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions (including ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

The goal in a lip lift procedure is individualized to each patient. In general, the goal is to create a more feminine and/or youthful lip. In some patients, another goal is correcting downturned mouth corners; patients often dislike the frowned appearance this causes. The lip lift is a powerful, long lasting procedure. Your results will last for over a decade. It is a reliable procedure that consistently produces the desired result.

Some lip lift procedures can be done locally in office. If fat grafting is added the procedure will be done in the operating room.

Contact our offices today for a lip lift consultation.
